Known for its clear and engaging writing, the bestselling Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Class has been thoroughly updated to be fresher, more relevant, and more accessible to undergraduates. The Eighth Edition retains the same use of sociological theory to tell the story of race and other socially constructed inequalities in the U.S. and for examining the variety of experiences within each minority group, particularly differences between those of men and women. This edition also puts greater emphasis on intersectionality, gender, and sexual orientation that will offer students a deeper understanding of diversity.

- New co-author Andi Stepnick adds fresh perspectives from her teaching and research on race, gender, social movements, and popular culture.

“[Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Class] has a comprehensive approach to understanding race, ethnicity, class and gender. Multiple perspectives and themes set the stage for gaining insight into the manifestations of inequality prevalent in society.”
Provides a comprehensive overview from a race and ethnicity perspective, with historical context. Lacking in addressing disability population

Students learn in a variety of ways, and this textbook offers text, graphics, bold-type definitions and opportunities for critical thinking. The historical significance of people and their experiences are imperative in gaining an understanding of the triumphs, struggles, and sacrifices of fellow human beings. Education helps to bridge the divide of people for different nations and cultures. I will address microaggressions earlier than the text presents with the use of journal articles, case studies and videos
I like the overall layout of the book, images, research data, and historical overview of the topics.
